Dressed To The (Ca)nines: 9 Dog Hairstyles For The Stylish Pooch

Dogs are a man’s best friends. And it’s a well-known fact that we are a reflection of the company we keep. See what we’re getting at? Dog grooming is an upcoming phenomena. Custom made clothes for dogs, luxurious diamond-studded collars, perfumes, luxury beds and what not. With the likes of Hartman & Rose, Furberry, WOWBOW, etc, a dog’s life doesn’t seem that bad anymore!

But if there’s one thing we humans have always obsessed about, it’s our hair. And when it comes to our furry pets, we are no different, it seems. Enter the era of hairstyles for dogs. It’s one we absolutely love. Why? Because keeping up the old straight-fur-long-ears-puppy-eyes routine is way too boring. Why not bring out the adorable side of our pets? Or even turn them into full fashion divas?

While searching for some creative hairstyles for our own pets, we came across these award-winning looks. Whether they are simply cute and adorable or straightaway runway inspired looks, it’s hard not to want to try them. Presenting to you our pick of the best hairstyles for dogs, these are pawesome!

1. THESE ADORABLE PLAITS

We said it. Adorable plaits! Dog fur is not so boring it seems–tying it into small plaits and then accessorizing it with pretty clips can make your dangerous looking canine turn into one huge fur-ball of cuteness. And the fact is that it’s not a boring hairstyle. You can change the quantity or design and pattern of the plaits as you like it as can been seen in these adorable photos.

2. Bang Bang

A straight up cool-and-don’t-care look. Who thought that bangs are hard to pull off? Certainly not our furry friends who, as you can see, are owning this look like no other. Not to mention that it gives them a pretty-but-mysterious look which is just lovable (and scary! To not be able to tell what they’re thinking is bad enough). These can be accompanied by tying the rest of the hair into either plaits, a ponytail or tying them up in a bow.

3. Beachy Waves

Now this is one look that even human kind has not perfected yet. But leave it to our pets to stun us with their showcase of the look. The beach wave hair look is a natural yet show-stopping look. It doesn’t need a lot of effort as dog hair is naturally wavy and just needs to be combed down so that the hair falls around the face. This look has blown us away, is all we can say.

4. The Rachel Cut

If you don’t know what the Rachel cut is, dear friend, you need to start questioning your life (or maybe we do). Referring to the hairstyle of Hollywood actress Jennifer Aniston’s character Rachel Green on the smash-hit TV show F.R.I.E.N.D.S (don’t say you don’t know what that is. That’s just unacceptable), the Rachel cut became a rage across all fashion platforms of the time and continues to be a phenomenon even today. A sort of circular hairstyle where hair surrounds your face from both sides, this hairstyle is sure to make your pet look like the fashionable Rachel Green (or it could just be an alarming way to tell people the love you have for F.R.I.E.N.D.S).

5. The Circle of Happiness

As the name itself suggests, it requires your pet to look round and adorable. The way to achieve this look? Grow your dog’s fur and then cut it in such a way that it creates a kind of circle all around its face. Being different from any other hairstyle, this is sure to be a little weird in the beginning, seeing a round huge head bobbing in front of a body with four legs, but then it’ll be one of a kind (not to mention that it also counts as your dog’s personal little aura).

6. Dumbledore or Gandalf?

We won’t lie. This look is really difficult to perfect. But then, if you are aiming to model your pet’s look on Albus Dumbledore or Gandalf (seriously, that’s what it looks like) being difficult should not be a problem because your pet will be a tribute to these legendary figures. And can we just say that this look is unbelievable so awesome? I mean it gives your pet the old-soul-but-mysterious look. Look deep into its eyes and you shall see…

7. The Diva

That look which makes your canine look like they just stepped out of a limousine, onto a red carpet, in front of a thousand flashing cameras. The Vogue-worthy look, this one is. The stunning haircut, coupled with the beautiful eyes dogs have, this look will turn all the heads on the street, we guarantee.

8. Because They’re Worth It

This look is a perfect real-life representation of the advertisement. The long locks, the beautiful wavy hair, the smooth texture- this look has it all. it can make your pet look like the muse to an artist. A look straight out of a photoshoot!

9. The Punk Rocker

Now this is one of our favorite looks. There’s no better way to represent the coolness of your canine. With this classic spiked-hair up do, your dog will look like one rockstar who has very less time for mundane things. Make way for the star!

Phew! That is one collection of out-of-the-box hairstyles for dogs. Do away with the boring normal combing of dog hair and usher in the era of dog fashion, we say. After all, you are a reflection of the company you keep!
